#jimmy perez/duncan hunter

[mywingsareonwheels]

Me in real life: I get on best with people who express their feelings easily and openly, and with whom I can exchange good wishes and love sincerely and lots.

Me watching/reading things: PEOPLE WHO LOVE EACH OTHER SO SO MUCH BUT NEVER SAY SO MY BELOVEDS.

(To be fair, that is partly so that then i can read fanfic in which they finally tell each other and it’s the best thing ever. ;-) :D )

Wrote this ages ago and just found it living on my drive. Oops!

This is gorgeous!! And the seaweed paper is perfect in every way <3 <3 <3

North of Everywhere and Nightfall, headland, home by Dorinda, collected in a cute little A6 tête-bêche hardback.

The cover paper is marbled and the book cloth baby blue to match for a bright sunny seascape mood. The endpapers are Notpla 140gsm and are made with seaweed! Recycleable and biodegradable. Fun fact: when applying paste to this paper to prepare to paste the ends down to the case, the little dark flecks of seaweed in the paper turn bright green. :D I’m ridiculously excited to have found a use for this paper, I bought ten sheets (minimum order) out of curiosity and then was a bit stumped, but it’s got a great texture and thickness and I’m a little in love with it.

The fics are BBC Shetland, Jimmy/Duncan, one of which I’ve read and loved and the other I haven’t yet but now that they’re bound together I’ve no excuse to not dive right in.

I love how they adapted Jimmy and Duncan for the tv adaptation of Shetland because those two really did not like each other in the books (just complete and utter disdain from Jimmy every time Duncan is mentioned lmao) but in the show? The hatred carries over right?

Hahahahahahahaha no

This is them in the show

And I love it so much

Title: The finish line (a good place we could start) Author: greenapricot Fandom: Shetland Characters: Duncan Hunter, Jimmy Perez, Cassie Perez Pairing: Duncan Hunter/Jimmy Perez Rating: Teen Word count: 4,221 Warnings: None

“Who was that, then?” Jimmy asks when Cassie leaves the kitchen to put her things in her room.

They’ve only been in the house a minute, haven’t even taken their coats off yet, and Jimmy is already starting in on him.

“You mean James?” Duncan leans against the kitchen bench, crosses his arms over his chest, then quickly uncrosses them, trying to not look defensive.

Jimmy nods, giving him a look that is more than halfway to not pleased. “Aye, James.”

He isn’t fooled by Duncan playing dumb, he never is, but Duncan would rather not have this conversation when Cassie will be back down any minute.

Duncan shrugs and stuffs his hands into his pockets. “He’s a friend.”

“You seem to have a lot of friends these days.”

What We Have Right Before Us

New Shetland Fanfic! Hot off the Press!

The Dad and Stepdad relationship has always been an interesting balancing act. Duncan and Jimmy have navigated those waters for years. But is there more bubbling under the surface? Can they be more than the dad and stepdad? Is it possible? It is time for them to finally have that talk and find out!

Please read and would love to know what people think of my first Shetland fic :D <3

That has got to mean something when you call your BFF and daughter's other father the name of your wife.

[justkellme]

So I’ve had time to sit with it and I still think it would have been way better to use Jimmy going to live with Duncan off Shetland as way to get that all tied up nicely. Because guys the CHEMISTRY

Jimmy is looking to the future, and starting to realise he should maybe be listening to his heart rather than his head

Written for day three of Shetland Fic Fest 2023 for the prompt "season 7 fix-it" because it had to be done

[mywingsareonwheels]

Pairs of or sets of characters (romantic, platonic, found-familial, whatever) who love each other and who aren't actually that far apart in love language - especially, who each include "acts of service" as one of theirs.

And who will keep speaking in their shared/overlapping language through saving each other's lives, getting each other out of fixes, and so on.

And yet. They are still. Not. Listening. To. Each. Other.

They each think they're the only one expressing love with all of what they're doing and the other person/people can't possibly mean the same thing. They're just being kind.

(It's beautifully frustrating. I do so prefer it when they hear each other in the end though...)

For the wip ask game, I obviously want to know more about ALL of these, but I've got to go with werewolf duncan/winged jimmy (Shetland) because I am very intrigued 👀👀👀

According to my notes this is set in the same universe as Wolf at the Door (in which James is a werewolf) but it's not a crossover, and Jimmy isn't actually winged. The premise is that though there are no large land mammals native to Shetland, there are werewolves, especially in certain outlying islands with close-knit communities that have been protecting each other for centuries.

During certain times of year lycans come from all over the world to gather on those remote islands (mostly unbeknownst to non-lycans) and one night Jimmy hits a wolf with his car (if wolves are too injured they can't turn back to human right away).

At this point it's really just a bunch of notes and a few lines of dialogue that aren't necessarily connected to each other, but I do love the idea and the angst potential. Here's a snippet:

“That’s not a dog,” Duncan says. Jimmy’s having a bad night, this dog that Duncan is claiming isn’t a dog is having an even worse night since Jimmy hit it with his car hard enough to stun it. He’s not in the mood. “Oh, what is it then, a horse?”  “No, Jimmy, it’s— she’s a wolf.” “There aren’t any wolves in Shetland.” Duncan shakes his head. “Not that kind of wolf,” he says, eyes imploring, as if he’s divulging a secret he doesn’t want to let on. But that can’t— Jimmy looks towards the sad creature on the kitchen floor then back to Duncan. “Lycan?” “Aye.” Duncan nods, looks away. “And you know this because?” Jimmy has to ask but he already knows he doesn’t like the answer. “I can smell her.”  Jimmy sighs and runs his hand over his face. “Duncan.”  Duncan shrugs, eyes glued to the floor. “Sorry.”  “How long?” “Twenty years give or take?” Jimmy sits down in the chair behind him as if his strings have been cut. “Fuck. Twenty years? So is Cassie?” “Lycanthropy isn’t sexually transmitted. But no, I was bitten while Fran was pregnant.”
